Irish Tote punters to bet into French pools This Sunday will mark the start of a new initiative for Tote Ireland as their account holders will be able to bet into live win and place PMU pools on French racing. Tote customers can bet via the Tote Ireland website http://www.thetote.com and the Tote call centre on 1850 238669. Account holders can bet on the principal French race meeting of the day, with Sunday's card at Longchamp featuring the Coolmore sponsored Prix Saint-Alary Group 1 for fillies and the Group 1 Prix d'Ispahan the launch pad for this historic partnership. Alexis Murphy, Chief Executive of Tote Ireland, said: 'PMU have been betting into our pools for three years now and this is a great opportunity for Tote punters to gain access to the liquid PMU pools.' 'With massive win pools, many high stakes punters will be tempted to bet through www.thetote.com into the PMU pools. Furthermore with many Irish and UK raiders as well as Irish and UK breds running in France, there will be plenty of attractive betting opportunities for racing enthusiasts. The coverage of French racing continues to improve on both At the Races and Racing UK and should further boost interest in this offering.'
